CAE Software: News for simulation and calculation

CAE software or in detail Computer aided engineering and in German computer-aided development is the tool of the trade for designers and development engineers. CAE comprises the entire computer-aided support in engineering. What used to be laboriously calculated on paper with formulas, tables and calculators is now done by the CAE software.

CAE engineering includes simulation, analysis, optimization and validation. DMU (digital mock-up / digital test model), FEM (finite element method), CFD (computational fluid dynamics), MKS, CAQ and CAM as well as fluid or flow simulation are among others sub-areas of CAE. Also the CAD Software belongs to the CAE, the CAD computer aided design can be found in a separate category.

Brand new CAE software

In the following we present new releases and updates of computer-aided engineering for the Product development in the age of Industry 4.0 - Bring your tools up to date!

Sustainable thermoplastics digitized for the automotive industry

thermoplasticsSumika Polymer Compounds Europe (SPC Europe) and Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence are working together to digitize the performance of new sustainable thermoplastics (PP) for the automotive industry. Based on the new multiscale technology for material modeling of thermoplastics, engineers can develop recyclable components and thus reduce the carbon footprint of future vehicles.


 

In the course of Corona pandemic will the CFD simulation to optimize existing Safety measures used in a wide variety of facilities. So had Dassault Systèmes with its Simulia software supported the Paris hospital Pitié-Salpêtrière AP-HP in assessing the risk of infection from airborne coronaviruses in several rooms. The assessment of the aerosol distribution in the GEA canteen also led to the safe reopening of the rooms.

Gas springs are important components, for example in the automotive or furniture industry, where controlled movements of loads are required. You will also be in the Medical Technology and used in aviation. If a gas spring is incorrectly calculated, this can lead to dangerous and expensive damage to a machine or system. Below you will find information on how to calculate, design and order gas springs online.

 

An world first announces the start-up Drag & bot with the free Robot simulation for the significantly easier planning of Automation in factories. CAD models of cell and robot gripper are used to estimate the feasibility, cycle time and accessibility of the application in a few minutes by means of simulation.

kisssoft0318A new graphic in the current Kisssoft release shows the stresses in the material below the contact surface Rollingrings and rolling bodies. The course of the voltages and their maximum values ​​are shown. This information is of particular interest for large diameter bearings, where the bearing rings are usually case-hardened and the case depth should be determined based on the loads.

kisssoft0317When dimensioning shafts, there is the option of specifying the shaft dimensions in terms of strength and Rolling with regard to the bearing service life by the Kisssoft software. This significantly speeds up the design of a gearbox.

The new CAE software Odyssey A-Eye from Hexagon (MSC Software) gives users without expert knowledge access to powerful digital twins Artificial intelligence (AI) applications. These require less input data and use image recognition to predict behavior. Odyssey is based on machine learning and performs parametric design and optimization in real time.

ina1INA-Lineartechnik offers its customers a new online calculation tool for driven linear units and multi-axis positioning systems free of charge on the Internet and only available online. Based on those developed by the Schaeffler Group Rolling "Bearinxs" calculation software calculates "Bearinx-online Easy Linearsystem" the nominal service life and static load safety of single and multi-axis positioning systems with driven INA linear modules. Product-specific influencing variables are also taken into account, such as

schaeffler01161Schaeffler's "Bearinx" calculation software has been expanded to include many calculation options for the Rollinginterpretation expanded. Furthermore, a detailed consideration of the gearing as well as the universal component "Optikit" for the optimization of any parameters have now been integrated. User-friendliness has also been improved by reorganizing the input dialogs.

Madler offers a tool for the design and ordering of Timing belts-Antrieben. This can be used, for example Calculate timing belt length, This free Timing belt calculation program can be started without login and calculates the common types and sizes. The center distance, necessary belt length and width as well as the safety factor for the power transmission are calculated.

Especially in the initial phase of a project, the designer must be able to model different variants of possible solutions quickly and compactly in order to then compare them with one another with regard to their main criteria. With "Kissdesign" from Kisssoft a simple, quick and uncomplicated model construction is possible. This system program is available from the current Kisssoft release 2019.
